WELLL hi. What is up my chillins. life is crzy rn. hahahaha. But first of all so glad again to hear all is going well there in the ol Valley. hahaha Dad keep it up with the concerts!! i miss going to those and im jealous you get to see Rush but its all good. haha when i get home we will go to some concerts. for sure. And mom congrats on the trek photos!!!! Haha so gald you got those done and now you can breathe haha. you deserve it. You guys are awesome!! Keep it up!! And grammy sent me some photos of andrew in Peru. He sure is getting the girls hahahhaha.

Anyways this week has been absolutely crazy!! Love being zone leader. Well up until now. haha. My new companion is Elder Castro and im in the ward of Alamedas. Its awesome! We live in a tiny little house in the backyard of a super rich member and the house is perfect. The area is SUPER SUPER small compared to Tierra Nueva. Like ive already seen it all. haha But its good. The attendance to the church is the same as Tierra Nueva maybe like 170 mas o menos. but its good stuff. My companion is super excited and we are doing all we can right now to find news. We have 22 missionaries in our zone here in Dublán. Every night the DL´s report to me and we do a lot of administrative stuff but i see President a lot more often now. Ive still not seen ruins but casa grandes is just a cozy little town and its super different compared to Juarez Its way prettier and its green and the skies are gorg (mom you would approve) and its rained like 4 days of the week.

But yea ill just hit on some quick highlights of the week. My first day we visited one of the Recent converts of the area and his daughters were visting them and he was all TEACH THEM TO PRAY and we were like lol ok and we taught lesson 1 and they are super prepared. they went to church yesterday and now they are going to mutual this week and we are gonna put a baptismal date with them this week too!! SICK.

On thursday and friday i had two meetings with President and the other zone leaders. We took the bus up to Juarez again and we had a meeting on thursday that was specfically and exclusively for us as leaders and it was sick. President is so smart and funny. I was super motivated after. they talked about fear and lining our vision with God and how fear is only an illusion then he showed a michael jordan top 10 clip that got me pumped an dmiss basketball hahahah then a clip of the big bang theory of Raj to show fear haha it was funny. Then we stayed in the hotel and had another the next morning.

We have been doing a lot of contacting this week and looking for people to teach. The funny thing that happened this week was we were going to a door and my companions pants got snagged on the car and his pants ripped super huge and his garments were hanging out and he was just like are you kidding me and i was trying not to laugh but it was good stuff. then that night i made a protein shake and it spinned and flew and got shake and jay robb powder all over me haha i deserved it.

Another cool experience was we contacting yesterday and we felt impressed to contact a woman who was walking fast. As we talked we found out she was looking for a phone to borrow to call her brother who was going into an operation the next day. Perfectly the phone she had was the same kind as ours so we could lend her our battery and she was able to talk to him. she told us she had been walking around for like an hour and a half then she said a pray and we came by. we found out she is a less active and we told her that God loves her and always listens and invited her to church again then she asked me to offer a prayer before we left. It was cool.

Well tonight we have the zone meeting im tried and nervous but its all good. TEAM MEDEIROS!! go hard in the paint
